301-available-tooling-core

301-available-tooling-core is a cursor rule for coding agents from hamzaamjad/cursor-rules. It costs 7 tokens per session (301 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of rules for choosing the right file, code-search, Git, web, and time tools during coding-agent tasks.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps select tools for editing specific lines, writing or reading files, searching code, deleting files, working with Git, and accessing web or time information.
Why use it?
It reduces guesswork when several tools can perform similar jobs and provides a fallback when a preferred tool is unavailable.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

301-available-tooling-core scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 3d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Tool Selection Core

Purpose: Quick tool selection for Cursor & MCP operations.

Priority Matrix

Need Use Reason
Edit specific lines mcp_desktop_commander_edit_block Precise diffs
Write full file mcp_desktop_commander_write_file URL support
Read partial default_api.read_file Line control
Search code mcp_desktop_commander_search_code Regex + context
Delete default_api.delete_file No MCP equiv

Decision Rules

  1. MCP when feature-rich (desktop_commander, context7)
  2. Default API for standard ops
  3. Fallback to default when MCP unavailable

Quick Reference

  • File ops: MCP > default_api
  • Git: GitHub MCP exclusively
  • Time: MCP for timezone conversion
  • Web: default_api (search + fetch)

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
